[quote=Anonymous]Typically there are three sets of fees for a travel team.

1). Club fees. This covers coaching, league fees, rostering fees, and fields. At larger clubs it also covers admin overhead.

2) Team fees. Typically administered by the volunteer team treasurer or manager. Covers tournaments, coaching travel and per diem, sometimes referee fees, winter indoor space rental, team equipment, and other minor misc.items.

3) Individual fees. Uniforms, travel, summer camp, and optional supplemental training.

If you add all of these together and are getting out under $3,000 all in, consider yourself lucky. Almost all travel teams practice 3 times a week with 12-18 league games per year, and 4-6 tournaments a year. Two of those are out of town necessitating travel costs.  Many teams play either futsal or indoor during the winter and have a residential summer camp. So prepare to spend $30,000 or more if your kid starts at U9 and plays thru high school age. If you have multiple kids, then ... well you get the picture. [/quote]
